Well I had the maiden today! All went really well except as i expected the plane is confirmed tail heavy, after take off it required a good handful of down trim to get it flying level. Apart from that the 170 was a bit surgy but nothing a bit of tuning cant fix. Was disappointed i didn't get a chance to put it through a schedule but hopefully i will get a good go at it next week.

Hi all, I finally weight my Extreme Comp 260 and it weighs 43 lbs with a full tank (50oz) of gas. The Kroma 180 pulls the plane just fine. I'm using a 34-10 prop and could bump up to a 34-12. The 10 will rip at high throttle. I have about 50 flights on it now and it flys just fine.
